Letters To Survivors: Words of Comfort for Women Recovering from RapeWomen from around the world have bravely chosen to share their stories, wisdom, and advice from their journeys of healing. Letters came from women ages 18 to 65, from America, England, Canada, and Australia! Each woman wrote a personal letter from the heart to all "future survivors" - other women who have endured the trauma of rape or sexual abuse.Years in the making, this book will save lives. It offers a message of hope without being preachy or superficial. It is not triggering or explicit, and can be read by a person at any stage of healing, teen or adult. The artwork is uplifting, and the words are gentle and poignant without trivializing the reality of trauma and recovery. Letters To Survivors is a book that can be given as a gift, offered to clients in therapy, or distributed by crisis centers and university counseling programs.In fact, Letters To Survivors has been selected by many rape crisis centers, counseling programs, military bases, American Indian tribal services, and campuses as their PRIMARY resource for clients, and provide a copy to every person they serve! One program even held a public reading of "Letters" by volunteer Survivors as part of their annual Sexual Assault Awareness Month campaign!
